QUOTE (manda @ Mar 31, 2011 - 7:28 PM)  Ray is Night_Wolf on ctech, btw  Thanks! I edited my post to remove my moment of ignorance. SoDo, do you know where the meeting point is? Last time I went to a meet, Tom and I went to Starved Rock State Park. Turns out we just call this place Starved Rock because it's near Starved Rock, but not actually at Starved Rock. So, I received word yesterday that we're now working 7 days a week. Then I found out that I'm in a strange position at work where I'm able to come in if I want to, but I don't really have to. So I'll be there for sure, and thanks to overtime each weekend, I'll even have a Celica in time for a summer meet.

weather calls for rain on the 2 days preceding the meet, should make the water falls area muddy and exciting (lots of water). Though its just as awesome when the water is low and you can check out the little caves and the giant stone head.

Jackie and I just walked the paths on Thursday that had waterfalls. and we managed to avoid walking in the water/mud the whole time. (crossing the water on logs/rocks/jumping) we wont be able to avoid it this time huh...? --------------------  Never Forget. - 2013 Mustang. I miss you every day. |

Who knows. I don't know how much its going to rain there. When I was there before the water was soo low you could walk to the base of the big water fall at the lake and walk to the base of the next 'step' down under the bridge.

Rain or shine, the pictures will still be epic. And I'll still be stopping to wash the Celi before I get there.

I'm going either way. It's a long drive for me. I'm not gonna get halfway there then decide to turn around because of a few water droplets.

I think I'm going to get the Celica out of storage this week after these nasty storms pass to get her all warmed up for the meet.
